The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Trailer

Kranen

The thread disappeared.

Personally, I think it looks great! Only thing I don't like is how they stole the Harry Potter font.

RyGuy

Eh It looks okay. I doubt I see it.

As for the font they definitely didnt steal it haha. Its the most common movie font ever used. The Trajan font...

chester

Who has read the books?

mattStrelow

The movie looks pretty cool actually.

The book is nothing really special but this may end up as a fun adventure flick.

I have!!

silverarrowgriffin

I think the trailer was good I really love Robert Sheehan as Simon Lewis and the Moriarty guy is playing Hodge! I love the Pandemonium club scenes and the shadowhunter scenes. Kinda hoped they'd show Magnus Bane on the trailer

The clouds/sky bit on the trailer reminded me of the Harry Potter trailers

Ive read all the books. They're ok, but they get kind of boring after awhile. Its like another vampire vs werewolf story just with shadowhunters and demons added in.

What a way of ruining one of the best tracks of the decade.

Just like Requiem for a Tower. :'D Loved it when I first heard it, and it's so overused I now hate it.

In regards to the trailer, this looks quite good.

I dont know...I stoped after the 3rd one, just started the 4th one and got bored....but watching this actually gave me chills!
I think the vision of the story is quite good

hermionefan1267

The trailer actually looks really good-i just don't understand why Simon is better looking than jace.....

I agree. It looks like what I imagined it to be (except for the actors). I'm interested to see how they do some of the demon fighting scenes though....

HP93

Im re-reading the series right now, for the maybe 4th time or so. I watched the trailer not even 2 days ago.. The trailer looks 100 times cooler than how I imagined the book!!!! I can't believe we have to wait until next year to see the movie!!!!! AAHH!!

I want to see Magnus Bane

hermionefan1267

I mean, its not even close. I always thought she should be with simon anyway:)

silverarrowgriffin

lol fake poster

hermionefan1267

haha yeah i know i was trying to find a pic, and then i was like i have to use this one:) the tattoos look so fake )

silverarrowgriffin

there are better pics of him as jace from set photos and teaser trailer screenshots...








I really love the Simon and Clary ones:




Alec:



I know the actors aren't very ideal to what I've imagined but I'm not going to complain until I've seen the movie

hermionefan1267

I agree. The only one who looks like i imagined is Simon. I pictured Jace to be more attractive, Alec younger, and im not really sure what i pictured clary to be like, but it wasnt Lily Collins. It'll be interesting to see if the movie is actually good though.

Yeah. I really love Simon's casting.And Alec really looks old...he's supposed to be 17-20 right? and the actor's like nearly 30.

I don't think Lily's hair is red enough to be Clary's. and they didn't even dye Valentine's hair :S

Do you read Clockwork Angel? they're also trying to develop a script for that

Isaiah

I read 25% of City of Bones, I never imagined Clary to be played by Lily Collins. This is something I will have to see for myself.

silverarrowgriffin

Same here. I'll judge more when I see the film.

dobby_freak19

I agree about Valentine....wtf?? His hair!! I think somethings must be preserved and this is just NOT right

silverarrowgriffin

@dobby_freak19 they didn't dye his hair :S and then they used that 'even DanRad didn't have green eyes' excuse :S

mattStrelow

Simon is way too "hipster". He's not even well dressed in the books.

yonythemoony

Gabriel Yared is doing the score.

chester

Has he done some famous score?

yonythemoony

The rejected score of Troy. 1408, A Royal Affair, The English Patient, Therese Raquin (which it has Tom Felton) and Amelia.

chester

@yonythemoony: thanks.

Out of that list i have only seen 1408, and don't remember the score.

yonythemoony

It's kind of like when Desplat was chosen to score DH. An european composer of a style of his own scoring a big fantasy blockbuster.

chester

Him being unknown doesn't mean the score will be bad but i thought they would pick a well known composer to start this franchise.

yonythemoony

They did the right thing. I mean, James Newton Howard has been a A list composer over the last 20 years, but he never had a franchise of it's own before Hunger Games, and it's good to have a particulary unknown composer who can make his big breakout with a franchise.

Ironically, his score for Troy was rejected because in a test screening, the audience thought that it was very old fashioned.

chester

That's very ironic.

yonythemoony

His latest work was for the film directed by Angelina Jolie, In The Land Of Blood And Honey (another irony, because his score for Angelina's film, The Tourist, was rejected and he was replaced by James Newton Howard).

And it seems that this was confirmed months ago:

I’m guessing you’re not talking about the score — the score is the instrumental music composed for a film. In this case the composer is Gabriel Yared who won an Oscar forThe English Patient. I’m guessing you mean the pop songs that often show up on the soundtrack to a film — as for that I don’t really know, but it’s early in the process to have begun selecting songs. Usually the director would want to be able to watch at least a rough cut of the movie and get a sense what songs would fit and where.

silverarrowgriffin

I'm probably the only 'Shadowhunter' in this forum so anyways...theatrical trailer on April 1 and they're writing the script for Clockwork Angel xD

Samch92
